My uncle gave me the CPU..He bought it and never used it..So I thought I would save some money. Trust me this is just something to get me by for now. Trying to stay on a decent budget. I would have loved to spend lots of money on it but just didn't have the money right now.

I don't know why but the last Giga-Byte board I owned was a 440bx... I think it was their first dual bios board. Great board... my mom actually uses it now 12 years later and its fine. So +1 for Giga-Byte.
